I also read early April in my daughterā€™s portal but considering Ivy Day is March 30th, a Thursday, do you think Stanford will wait until the following week to release decisions? I was thinking Friday the 31st since itā€™s usually the day after. I doubt they would release during the weekend.

My daughter got the interview just a week after applying so that tells me interview has nothing to do with the strength of application. it really does not matter if you get an interview or not.

Theyā€™ve always released in early April, after the Ivies.

From my understanding, it can only help an applicant, but if a person doesnā€™t get one, itā€™s not held against them.

Right, but the last 5 years it has been late March (between the 26th-31st) not early April, except 2021 when it was on April 6th. Iā€™m very superstitious and would prefer it to NOT be on Friday, March 31st. Weā€™ll have to wait until the next day to open her decision. :upside_down_face:

I was thinking April Foolā€™s day (April 1) would also be a cruel day to release :joy:

Does being offered an interview by Stanford in an European country mean something? Is it like Harvard and Yale who offer interviews only to the strongest and compelling applicants (probably they are going to get admitted if offered and interview).

When does stanford sends likely letters and usually to whom?

Stanford sends LL in early February, or at least did that in prior years. Likely letters are extremely rareā€“over 90% of admitted applicants do not get them. Best not to worry about it.

They are referring to likely letter not acceptance.

No, it does not mean anything. Stanford also offers only one interview unlike harvard or a few others. Getting an interview only means that there is an availability of alumni close to your immediate locality.

Is there still a chance to get an interview? My son never got oneā€¦but 2 from his high school got oneā€¦ one was accepted early. So we know that there are interviews in our regionā€¦

Our interviewer mentioned that their report was due on February 27th. The deadline could be specific to the region.

Does anyone see their mid year report on their portal?

I am able to. If you arenā€™t, get in contact with your AO to ask if it has reached them. And since itā€™s late through the application process, they may not answer very soon.

Ok it is March 9th and my son did not get an interview? We are from Texas. I hope and pray this has no bearing to his results
